A couple of days ago, Hannah jumped down off something and landed hard on her heel. Ever since we have heard about not much else. It's still sore (3 days later) and sometimes she will walk around on tip toes to avoid standing on the heel. Now I know that H has the ability to be somewhat precious about these things but I just wanted to check that I'm right in this: provided she can walk on it, ie there are certainly no breakages, it's just a matter of time until the bruising/pain subsides and I don't need to get it checked out.
Another qu, slight OT: Do you start paying for children's medical care in NZ at 5yrs or 6yrs? -------------  |

Its not her Archilles is it? I fell off a curb once and although I hadn't torn my Archilles I had bruised/stretched it quite badly and I wasn't able to put any pressure on my heel due to it, it got so bad that I resorted to crawling around the lounge as I couldn't bare the pain.
If it's not that, perhaps she's just badly bruised it, and yes it can hurt. Our kids don't pay for the doctors, although we pay $15 for Conor  ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I think it is free for all under 6's but not including a 6 year old (does that make sense???) ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

um. not sure. everyone told me as long as you could wiggle the fingers, no bones broken in the arm. Anyway, when jake broke his arm, could wiggle his fingers just fine....so I would be a little hesitant to say if she can walk on it, it's fine......
then again, I'm paranoid at the mo. |
